Oh, “Water” To Do cntd.

So they dug and dug ever deeper, right across the road. Then at some point they realised that they were looking in completely the wrong place; the water pipe was in fact located in the middle of the grass verge adjoining our wall. You can just see the grid, on the far left of the photo.

They didn’t need to spend a day and a half digging up the road, they probably didn’t really need traffic lights to hold up the main road connecting north and south Wales for two days. Maybe we should have given the contractors a wire coat hanger when they first turned up on Wednesday to dowse for water – probably would have been a lot quicker and saved a ton of money. To be fair to the boys on site, I don’t think it was their fault. They were just given lousy instructions.

Really should have planted the shallots and onions over the weekend but we’ve missed the lunar boat so they will have to wait. We did, however, look at new garden furniture. Rather than doing as we have before and buying a traditional A-frame bench that last two years maximum, we’re considering splashing out on a rather smart, teak (FSC approved, of course) table and chairs set that can be folded up and stuck in the shed when not required. Decisions, decisions!
